Perhaps, or doing HSC maybe??

 

Trial HSC at the moment.

I am surprised the Wests Tigers allow him to play school union... he has a professional contract.

Not yet, his professional contract starts next season. He currently has a scholarship at Newington, therefore has to play in the school Rugby comp. This is his final year so depending on how seriously he takes his education he may also prioritise the HSC, there may be a chance we don't see much of him for the remainder of the season. To be honest I hope he does focus on closing out his education, we need a few "smarter" players in our team.

Now if only he can reproduce this at NRL level! 😂

 

As mentioned in live game thread, Makasini could debut this weekend according to the Mole.

Apparently he’ll be considered next week 😂

Does the To'a injury seal the deal?

Well I’d still like to say no …. However isn’t he predominantly a left edge? 
I could be swayed with him playing left wing and Turuva right centre. But not against Naden just playing right centre again.

Yeah we discussed the topic on the pod tonight. There’s a case either way, I reckon we pick him on the extended bench and shuffle him off the bench.

Smokescreen?

 

I believe him. Benji wants to win, he will put Naden back to right centre. Makasini, May, Skelton, toa, Turuva will all fight it out for the 4 wing/centre spots over the off season.
